1. Which spelling is your favorite?
Skylar! :) It makes me think of skylarks.
2. Which spelling looks girly and which one masculine? They all look masculine to me.
3. Do you think
Schuyler would cause pronunciation troubles? Definitely. I remember the first time I saw this name... xD "Shoe-yuh-ler? Skoo-yuh-ler?"
4. If I wanted to use
Sky as a nickname, do you think
Skyler and
Skylar would be better than
Schuyler? Yes, but I think once people realize "
Schuyler" is pronounced like
Skyler and
Skylar, the kid would probably get called
Sky once in a while.
5. How many do you know? Do any go by
Sky? I know one
Skylar, a boy. He usually goes by his full name, but sometimes, he gets called
Sky by his best friends.
6. Do you think it will get more common? I don't think it will get insanely popular, no. I think it will stay where it is, mostly because it probably isn't girly or boyish enough for a top 40 spot. The name
Sky, after all, was never extremely popular; however, because it sounds similar to
Tyler, which is a pretty common name, I don't think it will fade out in the near future.
